Re: Favorite perfume? Need help.

I have two (current) signature fragrances, Tom Ford Oud Wood and Commodity Velvet (fav).  Past signature fragrances include Beautiful, Light Blue and La Vie Est Belle.  Probably more but I can't think of them right now.

Commodity Velvet...

  • Top Notes Recognized immediately upon application of the perfume
  • Roasted Almond, Clove Buds, Coconut Water
  • Mid Notes These “Heart notes” appear once the top notes evaporate
  • Heliotropine, Vanilla Flower, Velvet Rose Petals
  • Base Notes Final fragrance notes that appear once the top notes are completely evaporated
  • Blonde Woods, White Birch, Black Amber

@Cavime I would highly reco. one of my favorite lighter scented Florals for the spring & summer which is a beautiful fresh light white floral with hints of citrus & well blended which is " Dior Pure Poison ". It is sweet enough but not cloying at all. Jasmine, Bergamont, orange blossom, sandlewood & cedarwood with a white Musk are the key players on me. The bottle is beautiful as well!

Re: Favorite perfume? Need help.

I wore Angel years ago.  Like decades!  it's a great scent but a little too strong for me these days. So my suggestions might be too light for you.... 

 

Have you smelled any Jo Malone Fragrances?  I love one called, Honey Suckle and Citrus or something similar.  It's light and sweet for summer.  The other fragrance I love is Philosophy... Lemon Custard body spritz.  I LOVE THAT STUFF.  I get it on AD and it is my every day scent all year.  I want to eat it.  LOL

Re: Favorite perfume? Need help.

Flowerbomb is a wonderful fragrance, and it lasts!!!! It is pricey, but it lasts......I also have been discovering Jo Malone's fragrances, pricey as well......

 

I love Angel, it is one of my all time favorites, but I usually only wear it on the Fall/Winter.......I also love Tresor, very soft, but it was my sister's favorite, and she just passed last month, so I don't think I will ever wear it again,or at least not in the near future! But it is a lovely fragrance, as is La Vie Est Belle.....Have fun discovering a new one!

@Cavime 

I enjoy fragrance but it is also very personal and can depend a lot on your body chemistry . My favorite way to test a new fragrance is purchasing samples .

My favorite website is LUCKY SCENT . They sell samples of all the brands of fragrance  they sell. You can search by notes . its great because I know I have tried fragrances I though I would love only to be a giant miss, and the opposite happens too . Purchasing a new fragrance is one of my favorite ways to treat myself . Right now I am using 2 oil fragrances from a small company called Olivine Atelier . I have always loved the fragrance China Rain . This company sells 2 oils Flower Moon and Pink Moon which smell very similar , love them . They also sell samples .

Good luck and have fun !!

Re: Favorite perfume? Need help.

I like Angel once in a while too but I consider it very strong and heavy and I use it very sparingly and only a couple months of the year.

 

My most reached for scents in spring/summer/fall are

 

Chanel - Chance Eau Tendre

Armani - Acqua di Gioia

D&G - Light Blue

Kai - Kai

DKNY - Cashmere Mist
